Why your PNG must be the real thing
Some tools export a PNG that only looks transparent — the checkerboard pattern is baked into the image. Ours stores genuine transparency in the alpha channel, including partial transparency at soft edges, so hair and anti-aliased outlines blend into any background.
PNG vs WebP vs JPG
Quick guide to formats:
- PNG — transparency, best for design tools and print
- WebP — transparency with smaller files, best for websites (via API)
- JPG — no transparency, good when you've chosen a solid background
